There is no more attractive spectacle in
sight from this planet at present than the
celestial levee that Venus Is holding in the
evening sky, with the assistance of Saturn
and those famous brothers, Castor and
Pollux. Venus is beyond all comparison
the brightest of the group, yet Saturn is
some $50 times as large as Venus. But he
is upward of ten times as far from the
earth as Venus is, and proportionately still
further from the sun, and 1t is the combi-
nation of these things that makes his light
so pale in comparison with hers. Both of
the planets outshine their companions,
Castor and Pollux, and here again the ele-
ment of distance comes in to mislead. The
fact is, If Castor and Pollux were as near
to us as either Venus or Saturn they would
turn night into day upon the earth, for
they are suns, and big ones, too.

An association has been formed in the
Columbia and Schuykill mining regions
for the very laudable purpose of raising
funds to establish library at the Miners
Hospital at Ashland. Among those active
in the movement are c. G Murphy, l.. A.
Riley and Capt E. Reese of Centrala. As
one means of raising money, series of
concerts has been given. The first was at
Centrala last Saturday night, the second at
Ashland on Monday night, and the third
at Pottsville on Tuesday night. Tickets
were sold at fifty cents each, and 800 were
disposed of at Centralia. 1t was the prlvi-
lege of the writer to attend the entertain
me MT at Ashland. The opera house was
crowded and standing room only could be
secured. The program consisted of musi-
cal selections by Laubensteine's orchestra,
singing by the Girardville and Ashland
Glee Clubs, and vocal solos by Miss Rachel
Reese, Prof. Apmadoc and Geo. w. Gear
hart. 1t was highly creditable perform
ance throughout and the amateurs may
congratulate themsr Ives upon their sue
cess. Prof Apmadoc is from Utica, N. Y.
and he was the only professional singer in
the company. But the bright particular
star of the evening was Miss Reese, daugh-
ter of Capt. +. Reese of Centralia She is
pupil of Prof. Apmadoc, and her highly
cultivated voice reflects credit on both
teacher and pupil. Miss Reese captured
the audience with the first note she utter,
ed, and she held their wrapt attention all
through the programme. her voice is moi
strong, but it is rich, sweet and sympath-
etic, and every note is accurate. Her man
ner upon the stage is most pleasing, and
there is not the slightest affectation IN her
singing She is certainly an accomplished
vocalist.
The library fund will realize over a
thousand dollars out of these entertain.

We print this week on our first page
the text of what should be our new reven-
ue law, but owing to the work OF business
during the last few days of the legislative
session the president or the president pro
TEN of the senate neglected TO aiiix his sig
nature. Under the Constitution no bill
can become law without the signature OF
the President OF the senate before 1t reach
es the Executive Department. The Cover
nor was very anxious to sign the bill and
have 1t become law as there are very i'm
portant features in it, but there seems 10
be no way out of it but to call an extra
session. 1t is possible this may be done.
Under the act of 1885 judgments and mort
cages of individuals are taxed while cor
porations are exempt. The new law would
have taxed corporations, 1t therefore looks
somewhat as if some corporations had a
hand in preventing the president OF the
senate from affixing his signature

why Americans Grow BaId.

People become bald from washing the
head" said prominent barber. "The use
of water on the scalp may make notice
that the hair becomes dry and brittle after
ward. The water and subsequent rubbing
with towel dry up the oil in the roots,
and in time the hair becomes dead and
drops out. In England people never think
of washing the hair. A good comb and
stiff brush are all that are needed to keep
the head clean. The women often spend
hours in combing out the hair, and that it
is the most laborious part of maids work.
Instead of shampooning, English BARRIERS
use machine shaped like little barrel
covered with stiff brstles This is run by
a small gas engine, and will winnow every
speck of dirt out Of a mans head in few
minutes

We received last week communication
from Centralia signed "a Citizen" and
containing also what purported to be the
name of the writer, but not for publication.
The writing looked like an assumed hand,
and as the article criticised some of the
officials OF Centralia, we took the precau'
ton to make some inquiries, and found
that there is no such name registered as
the one signed to this article. II the alle-
cations make by tie writer are true, he
ought TO have the courage to allow the use
Of his name, but if he will satisfy us of his
identity we will print his article. AS it
looks now, however, he has attempted to
impose on us by signing name that is
unknown in Centralia, and we therefore
have no assurance that his communication
is reliable, and refuse to print 1t until we
are satisfied as to its genuineness.

eur of mountains, glens and oceans, and
thousands Of means Of enjoyment. We can
desire no better when In perfect health; but
how often do the majority of people feel
like giving it up disheartened, discouraged
and worn out with disease, when there is
no occasion for this feeling, as every suf-
ferer can easily obtain satisfactory proof,
that Green's August Flower, will make them
free from disease, as when born. Dyspep-

causes OF seventy-five per cent. OF such
maladies as biliousness, indigestion, sick

Reuben L Davis, OF this township, in
formed us some time ago that he poughed
eighteen acres OF ground this Spring, six
Of which was sowed with oats, planted six
with corn, and intends sowing the balance

can boast OF such agricultural feats ?

The new history Of Columbia and Mon
tour counties, IN some shape or other, gives
universal satisfaction; but the people are
not at all pleased with it. 1t is only a rep

subscribe for them and paid $12 for them,
too. How is that "for high"

Three Effects.

The thousands of remarkable cures
which have been accomplished by Hoods
Sarsaparilla are due simply to three effects
which this great medicine has upon those
who take it:
First. 1t purifes the blood.
Second. 1t strengthens the system.
Third. 1t gives healthy action to the di-
gestive organs.
With these three effects no disease can
long retain its hold. 1t is forced to leave
the system, giving place to health and
strength, through the potent influences OF

assistance, just as Mr.. j. S, Mann, the

when Mr.. Mann caught hold of the barrel

revolver was discharged, the ball passing

Though the apple trees blossomed very
profusely, every orchard in the county hav-
Ing few weeks ago stood transformed into
a bower of glorious beauty, only a light
crop of fruit can this year be looked for.
1t is now over fifty years since observing
orchardists noticed that American apple
trees bear their heaviest crop in the even
years, and their lightest in the odd years.
Last year, which was even numbered, til e
crop was very heavy one, the biggest in
many years, and hence, this being an odd
numbered year, we can expect only light

The cold wave the last few days of May
was severe on those whoparted with their
stoves and heaters after connecting with
the steam. The steam company had made
contract to furnish heat to the first of June,
but during the warm season of the last two
weeks they drew out the fire from the
boilers, thinking that warm weather would
continue, little dreaming of such cold
weather in few days. They should have
provided for these sudden changes at least
until the expiratian of the contracts, as
many may suffer with severe colds, brought
on by this exposure.
